Cardboard boxes

What to do if you have a lot of cardboard boxes at home?

Henry had to do some important works in his home. One of the things he was most concerned about was that he had to move almost all the furniture from one place to another and therefore empty it. The task was difficult for him.

The first thing he did was buy cardboard boxes. Not too big for them, once full, not to weigh too much. He bought about forty boxes so he wouldn't be short on half a job. He also bought tape to close them and even a wrapping machine to go faster.

As I filled the boxes, I labeled them so I could find things later. Without haste but without pause he went riding and filling boxes. “It seems like a lie the amount of things I have at home,” Enrique thought while one after another was closing boxes already full.

Henry dedicated the only room in his house where nothing was going to be done to pile up the boxes. Underneath the heavier ones and above the lighter ones. Trying to make sure the labels were in sight. When he closed the last of the cardboard boxes He saw that he had only two left over. “I have had a good view,” he said.

Already with the furniture empty he could start to move them to leave room for the operators who were going to go home. After a month and a half of works, with the floor already cleaned and the furniture in place, the process began the other way around. Little by little he opened boxes and placed what was inside them in the corresponding place. This task took him far longer than it had taken at first.

The cardboard boxes were stacked after the works and, in order not to have to throw them away, he decided to give them away.

When he finished he found a quarantine of cardboard boxes Used. Enrique is a very involved person in sustainability and in the fight against climate change so he didn't know how to throw the 40 cardboard boxesEven if it went to the blue container for recycling.

So he sent a Whatsapp to all his groups and contacts: “If anyone needs cardboard boxes for a move or for some works, I’ll give you about 40 that I used in the works of my house.” "And if no one answers me," he thought, "I'll put an ad in Wallapop, because what I don't want is to throw boxes in the blue container that are practically new.
